Biathle in Bahrain!

The Missing Links ended the season with a quick but very tough Biathle. Yeah I never heard of one either. It is a 1 mile run 200meter swim and then another 1 mile run. Brandon and myself was joined by FIT Bahrain and then a special suprises guests! Jeremy, Curtis, and Matt showed up!
We all watched as the kids race kicked off. Yikes those youngsters were fast. Then the older kids and 40+ had there sepaerate races. The 19-39 race was last in the series and by then we all had a good fear of the whole thing built up. Never the less we lined up and took off!









Before I knew it the first mile was down and i had set my personal record for the 1 km and 1 mile.













The the swim was ok with a 6 min 200 meter effort. I am consistant with a 3 min/100m time.













That is where the energy ran out. The second mile was terrible but I pulled through. Matt and I crossed the finish line together!

It was a good day! So many friends showed up and we had laughs and smiles for hours. 

This does it for the winter season here in Bahrain. The next event might be a 10k race in Dubai but the big one is the IronMan 70.3 right here in Bahrain!!!!
